What are the factors that a UFC fighter should have in order to become and be called a "Champion?"

Of course, if you're in a UFC fighter you should know boxing, martial arts, kickboxing, muay thai, jiu jitsu, wrestling, and any other ground games. You should have the combination of these sports because you'll never win if you just know one skill. You should know everything. Not only the knowledge but you should be "skilled" or you should have mastered these skills.

The Light Heavyweight fighters is the best example of this. Rampage Jackson is the former Light Heavyweight Champion but because of low kicks of Forrest Grffin, Griffin have dethroned him. But Griffin's kicks did not helped him to retain his title. Rashad Evans stole Griffin's belt. But Rashad wasn't able to retain his title as well because Machida is so strong that match. Now that Lyoto Machida holds the title, he will have his first title defense this Saturday, October 24, 2009 against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua on UFC 104. On UFC 104 it's going to be: Machida vs Rua on UFC 104 live at 10 PM EST.

Aside from skills, a fighter should have patience and respect. I'm not really a UFC fighter but in every aspects of life, I think behavior is always considered. You'll never stay long in your career if you don't have respect.

By the way, take a glimpse on UFC 104 video / Machida vs Rua Video

As long as we have hope,
we have direction,
the energy to move,
and the map to move by.
We have a hundred alternatives,
a thousand paths and infinity of dreams.
Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go;
Hopeless, we are lost forever.

The poem above is from Hongkong proverb.

When was the last time you lose hope? Me? I always lose hope... I always lose hope in every minute of everyday. Because I'm a negative thinker... They said that Pandora have opened the forbidden box and nothing left but hope. I don't know but if I'm Pandora and I have opened up the box, I will not believe that hope was the one left in that box. "HOPE" is gone but people around Pandora are the people who bring back the hope. "HOPE" is in our heart and can be shared to everyone. Don't think you don't have it and it was shared by your friend or family. Because what your friend, family or your loved ones does is to remind you that there's still "HOPE."

My loved ones are the one who makes me believe that there's always a light in my darkest days. My family always show to me that life is wonderful and something to cherish everyday and my beloved fiance always help me in building up hope back in my heart and in my mind. They are the one that keeps on reminding me that I'm not the biggest loser in the world. They make me feel better and relieve.

Have you seen a millionaire living in a tent? Me? I haven't seen one yet. I know millionaires do have large palace-like houses or mansions. But how come there's one living in a tent?

It is said that Randy Couture have three remaining fights in his UFC contract. The "Captain America" will soon retire but still he wanted to fight with Fedor. We know that Fedor didn't signed contract with UFC after UFC disagreed to join force with M1. Although many UFC fighters wanted to test Fedor in the UFC ring, this issue was being cooled down by UFC President Dana White. Dana White prepared exciting matches and it seems that he wanted to show that UFC can still manage to give better fights even without Fedor.

One of the remaining fights of Randy Couture is his fight with Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in UFC 102. UFC 102 live stream will be available via PPV on Saturday, August 29, 2009. Nogueira didn't wants to talk about his resignation for he is not yet planning for it. He is looking forward to regain his title rather than thinking his retirement. It seems that he still wants to stay longer in his career. Check Couture vs Nogueira video promo below from Youtube.com and be amazed on the strength of these two fighters.

But before this UFC 101, UFC was bombarded by so many issues about Fedor's transfer. But UFC failed to get Fedor on their ring. Fedor wants M1 as co-promoter of UFC but Dana White doesn't want M1. Dana White said that he have already given Fedor a chance to have $5 million per fight plus a share on PPV but Fedor refused. Ok, the issue is now closed. Let's talk about UFC 101. UFC wants to show that UFC still have the best MMA fighters and tomorrow, 4 best fighters will meet and want to be declare as the best fighter.

If you noticed in the UFC 101 video, BJ Penn is slim. His abs is present. His baby fat in his tummy is gone. Maybe this is to show the people who dumped him and tease him fat gay that he has a body of a fighter which is missing in his last fight with GSP. Go BJ Penn kicked them in their front tooth!

If BJ Penn lose some fat, Anderson Silva is an opposite. Silva is not slim anymore. He gain weight and he gain fat. Look at his tummy. I like Silva because he is so respectful but I don't want to see him to be defeated in his fight with Forrest Griffin. It seems that he moves slow, but who knows?

it's a bad day in Cinema someone took our seats and well the attendant just do nothing..
